sometimes therapy is just 'meh'
2 comments:
Wow! This one REALLY hit home! eerily so, except that I never felt very pretty as a child. (late bloomer), but when I see photos, I was quite cute and the sweetest most angelic smile.ReplyDelete
Yes, people are ALWAYS telling me how STRONG I am too...
but I'm not really. nope. Making my husband leave is not an act of strength. Its an act of soul-crushing fatigue and yes, RAGE. xo ~ L
You and I are a lot alike. Our past experiences, and current. Unfortunately, my therapist seems to be more about cognitive restructuring which focuses on thought processes and does very little going back into the past. I haven't really pushed it, probably because I have a lot of awareness of things like the ones you are coming to. Maybe because I am scared.ReplyDelete
My parents...punished me harshly for things that I should not have been punished harshly for, and at very young ages. By four I knew that I had a soul and doing bad things left black marks on it. I would hate to call them evil, but there were times when the punishment and so forth was excessive. And, that is where it started. All my abusive boyfriends have 'punished me' for things that weren't so bad, or weren't bad at all. Mostly me just being myself, really. Or, no, they were just abusive because of their own character flaws, I just accepted it.
I have learned that we have conscious and subconscious thoughts (let me run and get the paper...okay). According to this "sourceless" paper, our subconscious belongs to our early environment and those who raised us. My subconscious is what has me continuing to be involved in abusive relationships (I haven't had one that hasn't been) for, I'm sure, the same reason as you.
I don't know about you, but I'm around my mom and dad a lot. Like, two to three times a week. I see their behavior and it triggers me. I see their behavior and hear comments they make and I can imagine being a child, a four year old, and how it influenced me. It almost re-injures me because I hear it and I remember hearing it as a child. Anyway, what I've realized is that they are kind of like abusive boyfriends in the sense that they will never own up to the damage that they've caused. Meaning, I can't seek comfort from them. I have to heal on my own, through therapy and my own insight and work, despite the fact that they aren't changing. That is a tough one.
It's hard, isn't it? To have these realizations? Maybe not as hard to live without realizing. I haven't decided. I think it is harder to live without knowing why.
I'm here for you. Long rambling comments and all.

Our daily roundup of retirement news your clients may be thinking about.
Don't let clients drag their mortgage into retirement
Data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau show that more baby boomers make the mistake of carrying mortgage debt into their golden years, according to this article in The Washington Post. Clients are advised to avoid this mistake to improve their financial prospects by retirement, experts say. "My philosophy with regard to debt is when you retire your debt should be retired," says Ken Moraif, senior financial adviser with Money Matters. -- The Washington Post
Stay-at-home parents lose out on retirement savings
Parents who stay at home and are devoted to managing households are less likely to engage in financial planning and save for retirement, according to this article on Fox Business. Although retirement saving is difficult given the unpaid nature of their work, homemakers need to develop the habit of saving and develop a plan so they can improve their retirement prospects, says Catherine Collinson, president of the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. "Working part-time is a wonderful way for homemakers to earn income, gain access to employer-sponsored retirement benefits, such as a 401(k) or similar plan, and help build an earnings history for future Social Security benefits," Collinson says. -- Fox Business
Should strategic investors also be tactical investors?
Less disciplined investors who are approaching retirement may consider managing half of their investment portfolio strategically and handling the other half using a tactical approach, according to this article on MarketWatch. This approach relies on a computer-algorithm-driven program that allows clients to enter and leave the market at specific times. Unlike market timing, tactical investing uses "a price-reactive algorithm to identify and execute market investment entry, exit and re-entry points." -- MarketWatch
Retirement savers are losing ground - and it's their own fault
A report from BMO Harris Bank indicates that only 43% of Americans gave retirement "some thought", with 38% having no thought about their golden years at all, according to this article on DailyFinance. Although 75% of workers under 60 hold a 401(k) or an IRA, many retirement investors seem to be under-invested in their retirement portfolios, the report says, adding that a majority of retirees advised pre-retirees to open "a 401(k) and/or IRA account as soon as possible." Also, "today's retirees are satisfied with their retirement lifestyle -- what they have learned with the retirement planning process can serve as a model for future generations as they plan for their golden years," says BMO Harris Bank's Stuart Thompson. -- DailyFinance
3 easy ways for clients to save for retirement
Taking advantage of employer match contributions in 401(k) plans is an easy strategy for workers to boost their retirement savings, according to this article on CNBC. Working clients may also seek a salary increase from their employers to have more money set aside for their golden years. Also, 401(k) participants need to reduce administrative costs and investment expenses by increasing their portfolio's asset allocation in lower-cost index mutual funds. -- CNBC

On Sunday the 18th a group of our polymer clay guild members demonstrated polymer clay playing from 2 to 6 pm. We've done this since the first year that our guild began sponsoring the Polymer Clay Division.
There are four categories.
- Sculptural
- Jewelry
- Beads or Buttons
- Functional
This year we were in a slightly different spot where it was a bit cooler with more tables. Also, the traffic in the area was heavier, so there were lots more watchers and question askers. There is a large, colorful banner with information about our hobby, our non-profit guild - Central Oklahoma Polymer Clay Guild and the International Polymer Clay Association that we hang up at public events.In addition to our banner and since our guild will be putting on a retreat next April and Christi Friesen will be teaching, Myra created a poster for the retreat and also half page handouts for the public.
Jane took care of all the printing including our quarter page handout with info about meetings on the front and some basic items you might like to have if you are interested in polymer clay. Many of the people who stopped by and visited with us picked up the handouts and some signed up for more information.
The opening picture above is a section of the window with a lot of the polymer clay items and winners mixed in with non clay items. There were entries from guild members as well as other folks from around Oklahoma. Guild members enter as many of the categories as possible to have a good showing of many ideas, techniques, and styles and this year was no different. So many beautiful things were on display.
To my surprise my bell doll angel took best of show and a blue ribbon in the sculpture category.
I'd been betting that Jane's drunken giraffe on the margarita glass would be the winner. He makes me smile every time I see him there.
Other prizes were a blue ribbon for the Green Woman pendant and earring set in the jewelry category.
The scarab beetle beads got a pink ribbon.
A blue in the Functional category, a tiny heart shaped jewelry box with roses and polymer clay 'lace'. The photo is not so good because it was shot through the glass of the case.
After the demonstrations, some of us stood around, visiting and packing up to go home. It was a beautiful fall afternoon and as we slowly walked back to the parking lot we could still smell the cotton candy and hot dogs.
Yep, the fair is a wonderful time.

Has prestige been updated so fancy builds that use more simple wood blocks can have the same prestige level as gem blocks?
Post Your Screenshots!
It shouldn't be! Expensive resources should give more prestige! I want my decorative gem blocks to show off my awesomeness!
Being a bit silly of course, I don't know how prestige is calculated I haven't ever paid that close attention to it honestly. I will have to start since the prestige wars will surely be on!
To paraphrase a post from a year ago I saw, a replica of Yggdrasil should give just as much prestige as a gem tower >.>. There should be a way to boost regular block prestige.
The debug menu shows a lot of useful info on the calculation actually. There is a "base prestige" that simply adds up the fixed prestige value of each block. Then there is a multiplier that is calculated from various other factors, like what percentage of the blocks are chiseled, what percentage of the blocks are "exotic", how much block variation there is, etc. I won't pretend to fully understand how that calculation is done, but if you're trying to optimize prestige, it can help to play with the debug menu open and try out a few things to see the impact.
One tip I can give: one of the multiplying factors relates to how "compact" your build is, you can actually increase your prestige some simply by removing any unused plots from the beacon
Good bye Portal Hub in Therka Market that will never be used!
(Because it took me 6 months to overcome the worst blank page syndrome and finally finish it.)
So a farewell shot from Grump Tower, looking out over what's been home for about 15 months - Therka Market.
And, of course, the cheeky Square Enix Collective logo that I built at the start of the year
Finally I think I am really really done. Added a gleam Obelisk with the (maybe) longest dropping lava falls in the old universe. The Lava drops from an altitude of 171 and ends at an altitude of 66. Located inside the Obelisk of course.
View from the top looking at the rest of my build
The golden tip
Lava falls start at the top and end at the bottom
It would be great if we could have some that don't interact too so we can use them for that purpose.
I was not fond of them at first, but I can see a lot of applications now. Especially since they give a slight glow in the dark and can be the color of any gleam.
I was thinking about putting in a lock, but it can be hard to hide them and they are not pretty to look at.
All these awesome screenshots are making my work day fly by. Here are some of my pictures from Ineffable Isle and my unfinished mothership.
Its been a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to starting new projects.
Good bye Shop in Therka Market that will never be used!
(Because @OmniUno came back the moment it was finished. No hard feelings, I'm happy he's back. )
Older screenshots and progress shots:
This is a touch late and all, but I really like the flavor idea of having a rougher, more natural portal hub for the starting worlds and a more refined one on higher tiers. Might just be me and my need to validate my existence and petty accomplishments.

Samsung Galaxy S3 is undoubtedly Samsung's flagship gadget in the current year and thus, it has broken a fresh land in the market. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is the latest edition of series featured with fresh apps and 4G as well. There are a number of other tweaks. The handset now has 2GB of RAM and been made available in a smart Titanium touches along with the standard Galaxy S3 White. It also houses Android's latest edition Jelly Bean.
Web surfing is surely crabby and pages load just as rapidly as when linked to an ADSL line with the help of Wi-Fi. On the other hand, your 4G tie is dubious to reinstate a broadband connection on Wi-Fi just hitherto. For a get going, as the article previously has revealed, EE's 4G data restrictions are rather tight-fisted; you would be well for usual out-and-about use such as checking emails, practicing maps and surfing web page.
The newest gadget shares an identical chipset to the non-4G Galaxy S3, with its quad-core 1.4 GHz processor, but houses 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB. On the front side, the handset has got Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen that measures very vivid resolution.
Samsung Galaxy S3 deals are being presented by leading network providers such as Vodafone, Virgin, O2, Orange, 3Mobile and T-Mobile. Here, the plans sport with free electronic devices and incentives. Besides, you would also get the handset with two plans like PAYG and SIM free.

I love Janelle's art, and you can tell how much skill and hard work go into creating her pieces. I've always been too intimidated to try a mixed media piece. I had no idea where to even begin. This class removed the mystery for me, and I'm really excited to try out the process!
Hi, my name is Janelle Nichol and I am an artist from Canada.
Some of my favorite things to create on my pieces are playful and sweet children and strong, confident, and sometimes whimsical poses of women. I particularly enjoy creating calming and dreamy backgrounds mixed with abstract elements. My art has been described as abstract folk-art and I enjoy working with various mediums to create unique works that are inspirational and sustainable.
Some artists that inspire me are ...

AUGUST 18, 2005 - Posted at 10 a.m. CDT
BATESVILLE, AR - A 17-year-old Batesville Senior was the only Arkansas student to earn a perfect score on his ACT college entrance exam on the June 11th testing date. Tice Brown scored a perfect 36.
At Batesville High School, there is a Walk of Fame with one plaque for students who earn 24 or higher. There's another plaque for students who score 30 or higher. Brown's perfect score earns him his own space.
Brown will graduate at the end of this school year. He hopes to attend Harvard University and would like to double major in political science and molecular biology. He already takes college-level courses at local community colleges.
Nationally, only 82 or the 365,000 students who took the test earned a perfect score.

Make sure YOU Stand-Out within Your Brand Design!
You are your Brand, so don't let your Brand colors and design take away from your professional business headshot, but rather that you compliment each other and Shine Brightly together in your marketplace, creating a Powerhouse of Attraction!
Your headshot should be used on all your social media pages, website, marketing materials and business card. Therefore your headshot should compliment your Brand color scheme and be expressive of your Brand just as much as every other Brand Element is!
It may not be appropriate or complimentary for you to wear your Brand colors. But it can work if the colors look good on you and integrate well with your personality.
Make yourself stand out in within your Brand Design by wearing one of your Brand Colors, a complimentary color, a neutral, or you could wear black or white. You could also use a black and white photograph of yourself instead of color, which could be a good contrast depending upon the rest of your Brand color scheme.
How the background of your professional business headshot integrates into your Brand colors needs to be considered as well. There are many colors to choose from and black, grey, or white backgrounds are options to keep in mind when choosing. Your business headshot may be taken in an environment that expresses you and your Brand colors should be taken into consideration there too!
Steps to a Captivating Branded Business Headshot using color:
All of the above together will help you Attract your Target Market.
I advise you to seek help from an Art Director, Color Specialist, or Photograher, who specializes in Branding.
Stay tuned for upcoming blogs on Developing your Brand and Differentiating yourself!

Carroll County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Strader Blankenship during the Board of Education's Sept. 13 meeting confirmed the District's "Tenth Day of School Profile" shows a continued loss of students.
The profile is a compilation of attendance activity for the period from August 10 through August 23. The division total enrollment for August 23 was 3,696. This is 24 less students that the 3,270 projected division enrollment for 2016-2017. Blankenship told the board this trend was supported by The Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service's research which predicts at least one more year of decline before attendance levels out.
Students in each school during this survey period were: Carroll County High (CCHS), 1,158; Carroll County Middle, 828; Fancy Gap Elementary, 144; Gladesboro Elementary, 113; Gladeville Elementary, 266; Hillsville Elementary, 476; Laurel Elementary, 206; Oakland Elementary, 177; St. Paul School, 328.
Enrollment comparison information indicates the biggest drop at CCHS was 23 in grade 11 with 20 less than anticipated. Laurel Elementary had 20 fewer also with the 11 less in kindergarten. Carroll Middle's largest change was 22 less in seventh grade with increases in sixth and eighth grade leaving the school with four less students. Fancy Gap had eight less students with the largest decrease in first grade. Gladesboro Elementary was down seven and Gladeville Elementary had 14 fewer students than in the 2015-2016 school year.
Hilsville Elementary, in spite of being down 16 students in the first grade, was only three students down compared to last year. Oakland Elementary had a deficit of seven students. According to the report, the grand totals of students for the Profile in this district represent 90 less students.
The Weldon Cooper Center is connected with The University of Virginia and seeks to anticipate and forecast change and serve as a resource to those needing to recognize and address that change. Typically this is done through policy analysis, applied research, technical assistance, leadership development, survey research, consultation and training for state and local officials, community leaders, as well as members of the general public. The Center's 60 member staff includes experts in public policy and management, leadership, demographics, economics and finance, politics, organizational development, survey research, workforce issues and experiential education.
Blankenship told the board Laurel Elementary was first in the percentage of attendance for August with 97.99 percent attending with an average daily membership of around 208. Fancy Gap Elementary was second with 97 percent, Hillsville Elementary had 96.90 percent and St. Paul had 96.89 percent.
The board appointed Chair Brian Spencer to serve on the local final review committee of the Virginia Department of Education Virginia Teacher of the Year program. This committee will screen from one applicant from each school to one nominee to represent Carroll in the State competition. This candidate receives $500 to spend on materials and supplies for their class or school.
The other members of the committee are Strader Blankenship, Alvin Davidson, Jeanne Edwards, Sheila Lintecum, Christine Bomberger, Catherina Anderson, Sheila Hommema, Jennifer McGrady, Margie Quesenberry and Elizabeth Motley.

People have even argued about whether God is male or female. But the Bible itself tells us that He's both! That's right. In the Hebrew language, all words have gender. They're either male or female. But the Hebrew word Jehovah is both masculine and feminine. He's as much female as He is male and as much male as He is female.
Originally mankind was that way too. When God first made "man," he was as much female as he was male. Then God separated the female part out and made "wo-man," or "the man with the womb." After that, man and woman had to come together to be perfectly whole.
Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, "Vive la Difference," From Faith to Faith, published by Kenneth Copeland Publications, 6/28/82.
I don't know Hebrew, and I'll bet my bottom dollar the Copelands don't know it either. But here's what I DO know:
*Gender in language is not the same as gender in people. Language gender may or may not directly refer to the same gender human—leastways that's what happens in English.
*"Jehovah" is not a Hebrew word; it is a Germanic transliteration of YHWH. My guess is the Hebrew is not "masculine and feminine," rather it is probably neuter.
*God is neither male nor female—He is spirit. He uses masculine terms for Himself by way of analogy as being a Father to mankind, a husband to his people (the bride), etc.
*Man was NEVER part female. God did not take the "female part" out of Adam, rather he took a part of Adam to make a woman as a lesson to him about who and what she was.
*"Woman" does NOT mean "the man with the womb." This is about fallacious as it gets. The pun only works in English (i.e. "womb-man")—if you can call it a pun. Copeland just made that up out of whole cloth.
*Adam was not then remade "whole" by the woman— An unmarried man would be, by the Copeland's claim, an "un-whole" person!
*Lastly, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland are rank heretics who have no clue about the true Gospel, and are unsaved people who are leading their followers into spiritual dangers of every sort.

Question about KitchenAid Superba Architect KSCS25INSS Side by Side Refrigerator
Hi, I just had my KitchenAid Superba freezer door replaced since the wires at the bottom of the door had severed. After replacement, the "beverage center" still did not work. The door switch seemed loose so I bought and installed a new door switch thinking that the door just didn't know that it was closed. Still nothing. The light bulbs were burned out but I thought it was because the fridge thought the door was always open so they were always on. Now after replacing the door, switch and now lightbulbs, the new lightbulbs don't even light up. Can there be a short just in the freezer? The regular part of the fridge seems to be working just fine. This is a 2001 model that I bought in 2002. Any suggestions would be great! Thank you.
Posted by MomRocks on
KitchenAid sent a guy out to replace the door. But just 'cuz it's a "pro" job doesn't mean it was done. I don't get any response from the bev center. The light won't work, no water and the ice maker doesn't even try. The pro guy said it must be the switch telling it the door was open. The bulbs in the freezer now are definitely burned out but the new one I bought this am doesn't light up. I didn't try to plug it in another area of the freezer-too disgusted. I'll pull it out and check the top. Thanks!
He was only there to replace the door per KitchenAid instructions. It's behind the kick and it is plugged in. I had a question though. There are a total of six wires going to the door from the fridge unit. 1 is ground and 5 are "active" wires. So there are five areas that are wired and one open space because the ground is attached to the fridge itself. When I unplug it and compare the spaces where they connect, it appears that there is a blank space that does not match up. I base this on that there are prongs coming out on one side that plug into the female of the door end. On the very end (square) there is a male but no matching female for it. On the other hand, that wouldn't keep the lightbulbs from turning on inside the freezer, would it? Could this be a fuse issue? Or my luck would be both a door issue and fuse issue...Thanks!
My beverage center does not work either. I'm guessing that the wire and/or switch assembly behind the front cover are not making proper contact. I say this because I get the beverage center to work when I press the front cover buttons hard enough as I shut the freezer door. Although it only works sometimes.
What I need help with is figuring out how to remove the front cover so I can access the wire and switch assembly. It is possible that the contact points just need a good cleaning.
Kitchen Aid sent out a whole new freezer door to plug into the existing fridge. The only things I transferred from the old fridge door was the inside bins and the handle. Could this just be a fuse issue? (please, please!) Thanks!
The switch was floppy-for lack of a better description- so I bought a new inside door switch and replaced it. Easy, since it has the plug-in harness, but it didn't seem to change anything. While waiting for the new door, there were times I thought I saw light shining through the door seal on the freezer side, indicating that it didn't know it was shut so thought initially that the bulbs were just burnt out from being on all the time until I replaced the switch. That's kinda why I was hoping that for both of them not to be working that maybe they used the same fuse....do fridges even use fuses?
Ultimately, the guy who came out to install the replacement door pulled out one of the connectors in the harness that tells the beverage center to work. My electrician friend came over after I confessed all my fridge troubles and fixed it in less than ten minutes. Some of these "professional" installers need to find other work, I think. The pro just threw his hands up and told me I had another problem he wasn't authorized to fix when he was the source of the problem....go figure. Thanks for your suggestions!
you dont need to pull it out just remove the top hinge cover and you should see the molex plug for the wires or it is down behind the toe kick check that first ..Why would he leave if he had not fixed it>??
did you plug back in the connector at top? does the water disp work?? the refrig lites dont have to do with the door wires just the water and ice disp
Lights inside a unit have nothing to do with the door ................the door closes the switch....with that siad there is either a 2nd switch in the liner or the single switch controls the door functions along with the lights (so the dispenser wont work when the door is open) has the switch been checked to see if it is good??

You remember our Black Bean Pasta, I am certain – it's difficult to forget. Today I'll show another non-wheat pasta based on the same family of plants. It's Red Lentil Penne:
The Best Non-Wheat Seafood Pasta in the World
Say, which would you like first, the recipe or the story of how it came to be?
…thought so. Recipe it is.
No, sorry. Health stuff first. If you like pasta as much as I do, its nutritional data may give you a bit of pause – and rightly so. Let's look at what comes with 100 g of its, shall we?
330 calories, 65g carbohydrates, 7g fiber and 13g protein. And that's whole wheat pasta, which is not even the worst of the possible offenders.

Not only does Bonicel moisturize and increase skin elasticity, it also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; it's impressive that one ingredient can do all that.
CLEVELAND, OH (PRWEB) February 05, 2013
Ganeden Biotech announces impressive results from its third study on its beauty ingredient Bonicel.
Supporting the previous study results on Ganeden's patented probiotic (beneficial bacteria) derived, personal care ingredient, Bonicel once again improved skin hydration & elasticity and reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in humans.
"We are thrilled that once again, a third-party, placebo controlled study demonstrates that Bonicel is so effective as a combination anti-aging beauty ingredient. Not only does it moisturize and increase skin elasticity, it also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; it's impressive that one ingredient can do all that," said David Keller, Vice President, Scientific Operations, Ganeden Biotech.
This is good news for beauty manufacturers looking for natural, science-backed ingredients to launch products in this $60 billion dollar U.S. industry that experienced double digit growth last year.
"We are seeing a lot of introductions in 'probiotic' topical skin care products, but few, if any, have research demonstrating they work at time of application. We're excited that we have science showing that Bonicel does," Keller said.
Bonicel also meets the strict standards of the burgeoning natural and organic personal care industry such as non-GMO, gluten-free and natural. The $9 billion natural and organic personal care category is experiencing consistent year-over-year growth.
Bonicel can be used in lotions, creams, gels, powders, scrubs, masks and cleansers. Unlike most probiotic ingredients used in topical formulations, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, Bonicel, naturally derived from the well-documented probiotic strain GanedenBC30® (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086), is easy to include in formulations.
Bonicel is produced naturally during the fermentation process of GanedenBC30, the company's proprietary probiotic strain. Ganeden utilizes proprietary processes to optimize the metabolic activity of the fermenting organism producing maximum levels of the organism's metabolites.
About Ganeden Biotech
Founded in 1997 the Cleveland, Ohio-based Ganeden Biotech is at the forefront of probiotic research and product development with an extensive library of published studies and more than 100 patents for probiotic technologies for the food, beverage, animal health, and now topical ingredients markets. Ganeden is best known for GanedenBC30® (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086), its patented, FDA GRAS probiotic ingredient found in more than 60 leading food and beverage products. A highly stable probiotic ingredient with physical properties that make it more stable than traditional probiotic organisms (such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium); GanedenBC30 is ideally suited for almost any food, beverage or animal health application. Ganeden's newest ingredient, Bonicel, is the first science-backed, probiotic-derived, personal care ingredient shown to dramatically reduce 7 signs of aging. It can easily be incorporated in virtually any lotion, cream, soap, shampoo or other personal care product.
Ganeden Biotech takes special care to help manufacturers develop and market probiotic products. For more information about Ganeden Biotech and licensing opportunities visit ganedenbiotech.com.

There are many who advocate that the key to success, especially with innovation, is what's known as the "fail faster" philosophy, which says that not only should we embrace new ideas and try new things without being overly concerned with failure, but, more importantly, we should effectively fail as efficiently as possible in order to expedite learning valuable lessons from our failure.
However, I have often experienced what I see as two fundamental flaws in the "fail faster" philosophy:
- It requires that you define failure
- It requires that you admit when you have failed
Most people — myself included — often fail both of these requirements. Most people do not define failure, but instead assume that they will be successful (even though they conveniently do not define success either). But even when people define failure, they often refuse to admit when they have failed. In the face of failure, most people either redefine failure or extend the deadline (perhaps we should call it the fail line?) for when they will have to admit that they have failed.
We are often regaled with stories of persistence in spite of repeated failure, such as Thomas Edison's famous remark:
"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
Edison also remarked that he didn't invent one way to make a lightbulb, but instead he invented more than 1,000 ways how notto make a lightbulb. Each of those failed prototypes for a commercially viable lightbulb was instructive and absolutely essential to his eventual success. But what if Edison had refused to define and admit failure? How would he have known when to abandon one prototype and try another? How would he have been able to learn valuable lessons from his repeated failure?
Josh Linkner recently blogged about failure being the dirty little secret of so-called overnight success, citing several examples, including Rovio (makers of the Angry Birds video game), Dyson vacuum cleaners, and WD-40.
Although these are definitely inspiring success stories, my concern is that often the only failure stories we hear are about people and companies that became famous for eventually succeeding. In other words, we often hear eventually successful stories, and we almost never hear, or simply choose to ignore, the more common, and perhaps more useful, cautionary tales of abject failure.
It seems we have become so obsessed with telling stories that we have relegated both failure and success to the genre of fiction, which I fear is preventing us from learning any fact-based, and therefore truly valuable, lessons about failure and success.

We're nearly there.
The book was sent to the copyeditor this morning.
It's 60,000 words. I set out to write 40,000 - but the story kept getting bigger.
I don't know how long it takes to copyedit 60,000 words, a couple of weeks or so I guess, but, once that's done, it goes to the type-setters, then we have to proof it again, and then it goes off to the printers.
It shouldn't be too long now.
Thank you for your support.

For anyone who is willing to read what I write this time, I want to reiterate to you that depression patients still have the ability to have own political views, and I decide to talk about politics this time because I hope no psychiatrists or medical professionals would judge their patients on their political view ever again. On top of that, I also want to recommend a movie. (*I have no intention to persuade you who are reading this to share my political view, you should have your own views anyways.)
這次任何願意閱讀我帖文的人,我想向你重申,抑鬱症患者仍然有能力去擁有屬於自己的政治觀點,而我決定這次談論政治,是因為我希望不想再次有精神科醫生或醫療專業人員會因為他們的病人的政治觀點去作出診斷。 除此之外,我還想推荐一部電影。(*我無意說服閱讀這篇文章的讀者你分享我的政治觀點,你是應該有自己的觀點的。)
If you have read what I wrote in the past, perhaps you can recall that I have said one reason being which I didn't stick to the first psychiatrist I saw was because she in a way offended me. I sensed the implication behind her question which she brought up in our first counselling session – 'Are you a yellow ribbon or blue ribbon (that means 'are you for or against the Umbrella Movement/Occupy Central)', and asked whether I felt afraid of this social movement. I refused to answer her and in return asked her to show some courtesy by not to assess my mental health based on my political opinion. She however kept on asking me the same question by rephrasing it and then I just had to insist on repeating that I would not give an answer to this question in her small consultation room. If you meet a psychiatrist like her, I bet you just wouldn't even bother arguing with her, which was what I did so I never see her again.
如果你讀過我在過去寫的帖文,也許你可以回想起,我說過其中一個原因我看過的第一位精神病醫生在某種程度上冒犯了我, 讓我沒有再去找她覆診。 當時我感到她的問題背後帶有暗示,就是在我們第一次診症會面時我被問到 – 「你是黃絲或是藍絲呢(即時說她問我贊成或反對雨傘運動/佔領中環)?」,之後再問我會不會對這社會運動感到害怕。在那小診症室裡,我拒絕回答她,反過來要求她去給我禮貌與尊重,不要根據我的政治觀點來評估我的心理健康。 她沒有放棄去不斷地問我這個問題,然後我就堅持重複我是不會在她給的這個問題給她答案的。 如果你遇到像她這樣的精神科醫生,我敢打賭你甚至不會有心機與她爭論,這也是我當時所做的,所以我從此就沒有在去看她了。
I couldn't imagine what she would say if I remained as her patient and told her that I just went to watch a human rights movie here in London based on those people who were iconic figures of the movement and I even spoke to one of the 'film subjects' after the movie. The movie was one of many films of 'Human Rights Watch Film Festival' and is called 'Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower'.
如果我仍然是她的病人,然後我告訴她,我最近在倫敦看了一部人權電影基於在那些在該運動的標誌性人物,再之後又和其中一位「電影人物」談話,我想不出她會說出什麼來。 這部電影是「人權電影節」中的許多電影之一,叫做「Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower」。
Some people said that it is better to stay silent in even avoiding to put up that 'yellow umbrella' picture as Facebook profile picture during the time of the movement or have deleted it afterwards. This is in case that it would become an obstacle to get a job at any government sectors which are all supposed to be pro-Beijing, I did not and will not want to do the same, especially after I have watched this movie. If civilians are so afraid to the extent of not even daring to put up a picture like this or expressing a few lines criticising either the Hong Kong or the Mainland government, we accelerate our own doomed days to come. Even the birth of democracy may not ever be seen, at least slow down the time till we get completely blocked out from voicing out to the whole wide world.
有些人說在這政治事件上最好保持沉默,甚至避免在運動發生的時候都避免把「黃傘」的圖片作為Facebook個人頭像或應該後來刪除它。那是因為避免「黃傘」將成為一個找在任何政府部門的工作的障礙,任何政府部門都應該是「親北京的」,而我沒有也不會想之後這樣做,而我看過這部電影後更加不想這樣做。 如果普通市民們都如此害怕,甚至不敢張貼這樣的圖片或不敢寫幾行批評香港或內地政府的話語,我們會加速我們自己注定要來的倒霉日子。 即使民主的誕生日也許永遠都不會到來,至少減慢那可吧我們完全可以向整個外面的世界發聲的時間運行。
I didn't come up with the idea of describing the government as 'Darth Vader' since I am no fans of Star Wars; it was the guy named Derek (the former student member of the pro-democracy student group Scholarism) who called it that way in the movie and I liked it, so here you go. This is a must-see movie because for political reason, our Hong Kong government would not allow this to be on big screen(it's on Netflix though), I think this goes without having me to make further explanation. The number of audience who attended this movie session looked roughly just below a hundred, but it was a full house.
把政府描述為「黑武士」不是我的想法,因為我都不是星球大戰的粉絲; 這是叫Derek的男生(學民思潮的前學生成員)在電影中這樣稱呼它,我又幾鐘意這個稱呼,所以在用了「黑武士」做標題。 這是一部非常值得看的電影,而因為政治原因,不需要我進一步解釋,我們的香港政府不會允許這在大屏幕上面上影(不過可在Netflix上收看啊)。 參加這次電影會的觀眾人數大約有一百多人,但也坐滿了。
Let me do a synopsis of the movie: it is a documentary about Joshua Wong and his peers. The movie first reminded audience briefly that there was a Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 4th June in Beijing where troops were sent out forcing students to stop their protest against the government via the means of violence, and then it began to talk about how Joshua Wong had founded Scholarism when he was thirteen and was campaigning for the abolishment of National Education(a subject in which students would possibly brainwash them in a way about patriotic values) at high schools in Hong Kong, and since then the film makers had already began following every move of him till now, which is 7 years later.
Gradually, other members of the Scholarism group appeared in the movie and then it was moved on to scenes depicting the Umbrella Movement where students in Hong Kong echoed the idea to demand universal suffrage, civilians got hurt by the police who forced them to stop occupying public places, Joshua and his peers got arrested. The movie put emphasis on how Joshua and his mates worked as iconic figures to lead many others during the time. The movie also featured different scholars talking about their views on Joshua Wong and his peers, and you would laugh at the end when the spoke person of the SCMP newspaper agency, who having showered Joshua Wong praises after praises throughout the movie joked in answering a question about what is his view to the Chinese president. He simply laughed it off by asking the interviewer whether this was a trap for him to get kidnapped, recalling to the kidnapping incident of a few members who are involved in publishing books criticising the Mainland Chinese government, and marked the end of the movie.
Then there was a Q&A session where members of Scholarism then came to the front of the screen, including not just Joshua Wong but also Derek, Agnes and Nathan. They basically repeating their ethos for democracy and that since Scholarism was no longer in existence because they had instead formed a political party now, Joshua Wong announced that he would try to run for a place the Legislative Council(LegCo) in the next election when he will finally be of the legal age to be a candidate. Once everybody was out of the cinema room, most audience went after Joshua Wong to talk to him. For one moment he seemed like a superstar holding a fan meeting, but I don't see that this movie has given Joshua Wong a chance to show off how well he has been actively dealing with politics for years, but it just reminds people that teenagers of such a young age have not given up on trying to demand what is impossible despite the oppression they have received.
之後有一個問答環節,那時候學民思潮的成員來到了螢幕前面,有黃之鋒,也包括Derek,周庭和羅冠聰。他們基本上重複對於爭取民主的精神,而學民思潮現在已經不再存在,他們已經成立了一個政黨,黃之鋒宣布他將會試圖在下屆立法會爭取議席, 因為那時候才會有成為一個候選人的法定年齡。 當每個人都離開了電影院,大多數觀眾跟隨黃之鋒去跟他說話。有一刻,他似乎是一個超級明星在舉行粉絲見面會,但我不認為這部電影給了他一個機會去炫耀他多年來積極處理政治做得多麼好,但電影只是提醒了人們,儘管受到壓迫,有些年輕人沒有試圖放棄去要求不可能的事。
Call me naive but I was touched by the movie. Instead of queuing up to talk to Joshua Wong, I went up to talk to Nathan just to properly say, thank you for the effort that he and his peers have put in all these years and naively I said, please run for a place at the LegCo again when it is confirmed that he would be disqualified/kicked out of it. He politely shook my hand with both of his hands with his body bowing slightly to say thank you in return and goodbye.
This movie makes you smile at times at beautiful scenes when you see the unity of the Hong Kongers putting up their umbrellas in Central at the same time, and it makes you sad when you see the government officials have refused time after time to speak to the activists(especially when you see the face of CY Leung) and breaks your heart when the civilians who participate at the movement were hit by the police or hurt by the tear gas.
I just realised I kind of wrote a mini essay about this movie! But if not for the movie, I won't know I am that attached to this place named Hong Kong. I know I will never be that passionate and active in making changes to my homeland, but at least, I respect people around my age who do take into action to such a great extent. I will just continue to openly express my thoughts on political matters when I feel like it. This is because sooner or later, Hong Kongers would lose the freedom of expression and typing a blog post like this would be censored, or let's say 'harmonised' and then erased.
我發現我好像為這部電影作了一篇迷你論文! 但如果不是為了電影,我不知道我對這個名為香港的地方有這麼深的感情。 我知道我永遠都不會那麼熱情和積極地改變我的家鄉,但至少,我尊重在我的年齡肯在這麼大程度上採取行動的人。當我有感覺的時候,我會繼續公開表示我對政治問題的想法。 這是因為遲早,香港人會失去言論自由,這樣的博客帖子會被審查,或者說被「何蟹/和諧」,然後被刪除。

FIXED BOTTOM KILNS Series KN
A kiln with intermittent function, built to run thermal firing cycles with materials that do not produce toxic gases and that suit the maximum working temperature of the kiln itself.
The structure of the kiln is made of steel, stove enameled with epoxy paints and its thermal insulation consists of low density refractory bricks and ceramic fibre, suitable for the indicated working temperature.
The heating elements are made of Kanthal–type wire and mounted on supports. They are easily exchangeable.
The firing cycle is controlled by a control panel with a micro-processor based programmer model PKP-ERO with which it is possible to program up to a maximum of 200 steps in a temperature/time ratio, that can be memorized in one or more programs and to control the uniformity of the temperature between the top, the middle and the bottom of thekiln.
The door of the kiln is of the "rocking arm" type, made of stainless steel AISI 316 for the parts that are most susceptible to wear.
Uniformity of temperature +- 3°C.
As this kiln is provided with an electronic device for the control of the uniformity of the temperature, these kilns can also be used at much lower temperatures for firing other materials, like glass, copper, etc.

Delay or customers will pay — from new deposit charges to merchant fees.
That's what Wells Fargo & Co. Chairman and Chief Executive John Stumpf and Regions Financial Corp. CEO O.B. Grayson Hall said would happen unless Congress delays a cap on the fees stores pay to banks for debit card transactions.
A bill to delay the start date from July 21 to the end of 2012 or later awaits a full Senate vote.
"Hopefully, we'll all get a delay. If we can't, what do we do to offset the loss of revenue? … Unfortunately, the consumer will pay," Stumpf said at a Barclays Capital conference Monday in London, according to a Bloomberg transcript.
Wells, of San Francisco, has several options for recouping the $325 million in quarterly revenue it estimates it would lose under the Dodd-Frank Act cap, including: raising minimum account balances, introducing a debit card carrying fee and implementing surcharges on checking accounts, he said.
It also could "unbundle" the services "you provide to merchants," Stumpf said. What that means is that Wells could conceivably find ways to charge merchants for debit-processing-related services that would not fall under the cap. For example, experts say, a bank could charge stores a fee to guarantee that a transaction will clear, something they now do for free.
"You can break a debit transaction down," said Lee Manfred, a partner at First Annapolis Consulting Inc., a payment services consultant in Linthicum, Md. "It's not easy, but it's feasible."
Wells, with more than 9,000 branches around the country, is the nation's second-largest debit card issuer, Stumpf said.
Hall, meanwhile, said in a separate conference presentation that the $132 billion-asset Regions is ready to "make adjustments to our business model" to try to offset whatever revenue it loses from lower interchange fees. Depending on "how that legislation finally plays out," he said that in 2011 the Birmingham, Ala., company intends to make up for the $346 million in debit card income it collected in 2010.
The 1,700-branch lender's plan for offsetting Durbin — and other revenue-sapping regulatory changes — is twofold: go after more consumer-oriented business while figuring out how to charge for what customers had grown accustomed to getting for free, Hall said. Regions began eliminating free accounts and services a year ago.
"Now we've got to figure out a way to convince not only our customers, but also our associates who serve those customers, that banking is worth paying for," Hall said. "You'll continue to see us ramp that up."
Regions is running risky commercial real estate loans off its books. A long-term goal involves shifting its business emphasis from that market to higher-yielding credit card and auto loans. To that end, it is "evaluating" re-entering the credit cards business as a cards provider, Hall said.
"We were in that for years. We still have a credit card portfolio" that Bank of America Corp. services, he said. "We've looked at that pretty hard."
Right now so-called interchange fees are around 1% of a purchase. Under an amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act from Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., the Federal Reserve has proposed capping that fee at 12 cents. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., has proposed a 15-month delay.
In another presentation, TCF Financial Corp. Chairman and CEO William Cooper said he intends to carry on his court challenge to the Durbin amendment either way.
Cooper — perhaps the most vocal critic of the cap — described it as a $15 billion-a-year "raid on the banking business" that will hurt banks and the economy.
He said there's a 50% chance it will be delayed, which would buy time for the 442-branch, Wayzata, Minn., company's legal challenge.
"It's hard to believe that Congress will vote not to study something. They'll love to study it. It keeps the coffers open for political contributions," Cooper said. "I'm very optimistic on our court case. … We believe that we're right on the issue."

Since Jenny's arrival over four months ago life has been turn on its head. My priorities have shifted and I have been wondering whether this blog has a place in this new adventure. As a working mum time is precious and seemingly scarce so adding another thing to the to-do-list needs to be weighed carefully – juggling Jenny, work, being a wife, keeping the house clean (well clean-ish at the moment), making sure we eat and have clean clothes is frankly exhausting. Yet I think for my spiritual and mental health I still need this blog- I still need to have a space to share the thoughts in my head and heart. But now I have a greater reason – I want Jenny to be able to have a legacy of testimonies of God at work in our lives. Yes, I could just keep my thoughts in a diary but I get the feeling that Jenny-bean will be more at home and comfortable with electronic (also my handwriting sucks!).
I want Jenny to know the ups and downs of my walk with God. I want her to see Him and to know Him for herself. I want God to be part of her ordinary everyday life:
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
So I have started up this blog again and for the eagle eyed I have renamed it: Everyday Ebenezer. What is an Ebenezer? It is not a reference to a Charles Dickens's character. But rather a marker or a monument that testifies to God.
1 Samuel 7:10-13 While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the LORD thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites. 11 The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, slaughtering them along the way to a point below Beth Car. 12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far has the LORD helped us." 13 So the Philistines were subdued and did not invade Israelite territory again. Throughout Samuel's lifetime, the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines.
I want this blog to be a stone, a monument to God at work. Primarily now it is a monument for Jenny. It is also a monument for me, to remind me of God's goodness and grace in my life. But also I don't want to hide this monument away – whoever sees this Ebenezer I pray will be pointed towards God in some way.
